To IIJ/Z whom, t ntrty/ concern.

Be it known that l, Anzi G. llENNmN, o citizen of the United States, residing :it Houston, in the eo'untjy of Harris and State ot Texas, have invented n. new and useful Com-y posite Roofing', or which the following is :t specification.

This invention has relation to composite rooting and it consists in the novel eonstruetion and ztrrungenient of parts as hereinafter shown and described.

The object of the invention is to provide :i roofing' material which is substantial and durable and which is not efi'ected hy extremes of temperature or sudden change therein, one which is tire proof and-will not run when will not warp or shrink.

Yin the accompanying drawing 'ligure i isla perspective view of a section ol' the com posite rooting"I Fig. 2 is a. perspective View of a portion of the roofing with some ot its layers removed.

The roofirngr consists oi the paper backing' l upon which is applied zi layer of rubber asphalt .llnibedded in the said layer 2 is. the straw matting` 3. T he laver of rubber usphnlt 4 is applied to the top side of the, matting 3 und .embedded in the outer surface subjected to high temperature -Qgnd which t ol' the said layer 4 isv zi thick Coating ol' shell 5. The shell beure' no1i-heut-absorlnng, pro-Y tects tho loyers 2 and '-L from the heut ot' the suns rays and consequently prevents the saune from ruiming when subjected to high temperature. rfhe shell 5 also renders tho roolng' lire, proof. The straw nmttine,` 3

adds tensile strength to the rooting and as the nails sire driven through the matting 3 :Lt its seh/age edges the rooting cannot pull :muy ironi its lustenings. The loyers i2 and i render the roofing impervious to water and the 'paper bateliinf; l affords n. pad or bosev plied thereto, straw mattiner havingr selviigel edges loc-ted upon said laver of rubber asphalt, t second loyerot rubber asphalt applied to the outer surta-ce of the matting and a Coating of fire prooiz material applied to the l last seid layer oi' rubber asphalt.

2. composite rooling comprising a paper bucking having a. hiver of rubber asphalt applied thereto, straw mattinev having: selvuge edges loes-ted upon said layer ol" rubber asphalt, :i second loyer ol' rubber asphalt ztp plied to the outer surl'uee.: ol the matting und zi coating ol" shell.
